My cat has stinky gas and soft stool. How can I fix her digestion?

Question

My cat is very gassy. We’ve switched her to a high protein dry cat food (grain free) but she is still gassy and stinky. She passes gas at least 5 times a day. Sometimes she seems to let some stool out when she is gassy too and that seems softer than it should be. Also very stinky. I’ve never had a kitty be so gassy before. She doesn’t seem tender in her belly and will let us pet her. I’m worried about her digestion. Is there anything we can do to lessen her gas?

It's possible there could be something underlying such as a food allergy (protein sources can cause allergies in some pets!), or even something such as parasites or an infection causing excess gas. It would be a good idea to bring in a fecal sample to your vet to check for the most common causes of GI upset, and if nothing is found consider a food trial with your vet to rule out any possible food allergies that could be contributing.
